` 101mm.` (oraalesi I y 'I 'his invention relates broadly tovnozzles ofthe `type used in connection with the hose of agasolk line :vending pump.

At the present time, immediately upon therer 5 moval of the nozzle from the'hook provided 'on-v the pump for supporting thenozzle, the circuit' i to the motor of the pump is closed for the purpose of setting the pump in operation.r 'I'his ,re-

sults .in a waste of electricity. andit is an object of the present invention to provide an improved nozzle embodying meansfor controlling the cir- 'cuit through the'motor so that the circuit will'be closed only as incidental to the opening of the release valve of the nozzle. i Briefly, the invention consists in the provision of a switch arranged in circuit with the motor together with means for mounting the switch on the guard of the nozzle ina manner to be operated by the lever of the nozzle for closing the m circuit. through the pump 'motor incidental to the opening of the release valve of the nozzle.

[The invention together withits objects and ad-' vantages will be best understood from a studyof the following description taken in connection with N the accompanying drawing wherein:

Figure 1 is an. eievanonal viewgiilustrating the applicationof the invention..

Figure 211s anenlarged detail sectional view n 1 y Y illustrating certain features hereinafter j more 30 fully referred to.

Figure 3 isa sectional .viewV through the switch housing. 'f

Figure 4 is av perspective viewof the pivoted` contact. y

Figure is sectional view through the-.hose showing one manner of associating the electricr cord with the hose.

Referring to the drawing by reference numer-Y als, the numeral` I0 indicates generally a conventional gasoline service pump providedwith a' hose il and a motor I2.

numeral I3 and including a release valve I 4, a

pivoted lever I5 for operating the release valve,

`In accordance -withv the present invention,lthe

guard I6 at the rear end thereof isprovided with a guide'slot I1 in which operates the free end of the lever I5 as best shown in'Figure 2.

Also secured to the rear endfof the 'guard I6 l is a suitable housing I8 in Awhich is mounted a switch embodyingthe features of the present in-y vention. 'Ihe housing I8 Vis secured to theguard I 6 in any suitable manner Aand is provided with 'a removable top I9 of insulated'material throughv which extends binding post 20.as shown. Elec-'- Onthe free end 'offthe hose i I I is a nozzle indicated generally by the reference l trically connected with the inner end of the bindy .ring post 20 are'rvspring contact fingers 2I with which are engageable contacts 22l provided on'op-V poslte sides of a lever 23'. Contacts'22 are set in blocks 24 ofinsulated material. (See Figure 4). 5

At one end the lever 23 is pivoted within the housing or casing I8 as at 25 while adjacent its other end the lever 23 is longitudinally twisted and operates within the slot rI 1 as at 26 in aimanner to be engaged by the freeend'of the lever I5 v10 as best shown 'in Figure 2. g Y

The' conductor cord 21 leading frornthe motor I2 is for a majorr portion of its length wrapped `about the. hose II within the sheathing or outer covering of the hose as best shown in Figure 5. 15

Thevcord 2l adjacent the nozzle equipped end of the hose I I passes outwardly through thesheathing of the hose and the ends of the wires of the cord are connected to the binding posts 20 ina conventional manner and as shown.

,. I 2 From the above it will be apparent that kwhen the lever I5 is caused to swing upwardlyv to open l-the valveid, leverl23-will be causedto swing in Aa counterclockwise direction (see `Figure 2) soY that the contactsf22 'will be engaged with'the 25 spring contact fingers 2lv for completingthe circuit to the motor I2 for setting `the pump I0 in operation. Upon release 'of the lever I5 and its return to normal position,flever 23 will return to Y its normal position thereby disengagingA contacts 30` Q22 and 2Iandbreaking the circuit Ytothe motor" l j. I2. Thus it willjbe seenthat'themotor I2 will' said guard for actuating said valve, said guard Y 'being provided, in oneend thereof, with a. slot and-said lever having its free end operating in 45 and extending through said slot, a casing mounted on said guard adjacent said slot,lsaid arm` ex-,A `tendinginto said casing, a stationary electrical contact in said casing,V a pivotally mounted cos operating electrical contact therein,'saidY pivot- 50 ally mounted contact Yoperating in the path of Asaid leverand being actuated thereby, and-resilient means-normally urging said movable contact out of-electrical contacting engagement 'with the` n .stationary electrical contact. i 455 'f MICHAEL N.
